Where must placards be displayed on bulk packagings and transport vehicles containing hazmat?

Placards must be displayed on each side and each end of bulk packagings and transport vehicles containing hazardous materials. This requirement ensures that emergency responders and others in the vicinity can quickly identify the presence and nature of hazardous materials from multiple approaches and angles. Proper placarding is crucial for safety during transport, as it provides vital information regarding the type of hazard, which can help in planning an appropriate response in case of an emergency.

This placement helps mitigate risks by ensuring that the information is visible during general transportation and when the vehicle is stationary. Each side and each end of the vehicle must be marked to minimize confusion and enhance the safety of everyone, including other drivers and emergency personnel.
